This is a problem that has haunted me for as long as I can remember. How do you round edges on tables. Now I know its a graphic and not the actual table, but is there a simple way of making them through photoshop? Thank you

I would like to Matt!! I can give tips for photoshop, fireworks, and paint shop. I could also give an example table layout for people who would like a prefab solution. Contact me at cckrocks@hotmail.com. I would love to help out your site.

Fill that selection with white.
Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur (I use 3 for small images)
Image>Adjust>Levels
Pull the left black and right white faders towards the middle until your blurred body is nice and smooth.

Come back to the layer with the channel images selected
Fill that selection with the color that you want
and Voila

This tip I must say I learned from the great Alpha Geek, Patrick Norton from...where else? The Screen Savers on TechTV....let's hear it for TSS and Alpha Geek!!! Incidentally, for those who watch the show, you have to sign on to http://www.nortonfans.com and sign his happy birthday guestbook. He turned the big 3-0 yesterday! Happy birthday to the man who made destroying Athlons en vogue!

I used to do this also but with this method you can hardly control the rounded edge. The 'ellipse marquee tool' works much easier.
